Invariant Kähler structures on the cotangent bundles of compact symmetric spaces (Q4465002)

In the interesting paper under review, the author undertakes a systematic study of the complex structures on \(TM\setminus\{\text{zero section}\}\) which are both \(G\)-invariant and invariant under the Hamiltonian flow of \(H^{1/2}\), where \(M=G/K\) is a rank-one semisimple Riemannian symmetric space of compact type, \(H: TM\to{\mathbb R}\) is defined by \(H(X)=g(X,X)\) in terms of the Riemannian metric \(g\) of \(M\), and \(TM\) is equipped with the symplectic structure given by the diffeomorphism \(TM\simeq T^*M\) defined by~\(g\). The aforementioned invariant complex structures are described in Theorem~12. The statement of this theorem (along with the one of Lemma~10) also establishes that the invariant complex structures cannot exist unless \(G/K\) has rank one and compact type. It is noteworthy that the aforementioned complex structures are actually Kähler structures. In the case when \(M\) is a complex or quaternionic projective space, it turns out that these Kähler structures are compatible with the symplectic reduction procedure.
